Stay In, Work Out

Healthy habits matter and upgrading the routines in your
day will help to keep you calm and motivated. If it feels selfish to focus on
your fitness, think again! Exercise is a proven way to de-stress and to boost
your immune system. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to make major
gains, don’t be sidelined by COVID-19. Try these ideas to get back in the game.

Exercise at home. It’s
clear that small tweaks in our lifestyles won’t cut it. We need as many people
as possible to stay physically separated from anyone but their immediate household to help
flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases.

Just
because your gym is closed doesn’t mean you have to throw in the towel. Find a
space in your home, garage or yard (ideally 6ft. x 6 ft.) where you can move.
If you have dumbbells, resistance bands or other equipment, you’re a step
ahead. If you don’t, you can load up a laundry basket for deadlifts or fill
empty milk jugs with sand to load your movements. Body weight exercises are
also very effective to get or stay fit. We’ve got program ideas you can try so

Follow
along with Rico’s Reps. Have you joined the 5
Circle Fit Challenge? Brian
Buffini designed this challenge to help you get a rolling start back into
everyday life once the coronavirus subsides. Each essential area of life
(spiritual, family, business, financial and personal) is interconnected and
we’ve added fitness guidance to the “personal” circle to make it easy to
succeed.

Each week during the
challenge, the Buffini’s personal trainer will provide a series of exercises
you can do at home! It’s also suggested that you walk a mile a day or ride your
bike for five miles.

Zoom
with your local gym and trainers (if you have one). This pandemic will have financial
impact on business including gyms and studios. If you belong to one and they
have shifted their offerings to online classes, join them (and donate)! If you
have been working with a personal trainer, see if you can train virtually with
FaceTime or Zoom.

Most have
developed programs that require little to no equipment that you can do in a
small space.
